Ella

RVS by V.

For 2015, Ella has us falling for acetate adorned with modern metal clips. RVS by V. from Turkey highlights its metal collection this season and combines it perfectly with colourful Mazzucchelli acetate in a totally different approach. “The result is a beautiful harmony of classic gold and silver metals,” explains designer Vidal Erkohen. Keep your eye on this collection for spectacular mirrors combined with classical shapes and luxe finishes such as tortoise and horn. www.rvsbyv.com CN

Piedade

Paulino Spectacles

A classic from the Portuguese label, Piedade is, like all the styles in this line, named after designer Ramiro Paulino’s relatives. “I never met her,” he explains, “but as a child I fantasized that grandmother “Piedade” would have been a bullfighter, inspired by the one photo that existed of her, in which she used structured hair and a lace shirt.” This sweet and elegant handmade style is available in four colours including the tinted crystal we highlight here. www.paulinospectacles.com CN

The Hypnotic Eye

Theo Creates The Unexpected

1st October 2014 Theo can always be relied upon to surprise, tantalize, and push the boundaries. That is their unique signature. The new Hypnotic design is actually a piece of jewellery, and it’s easy to fall under the spell of this lovely object in stainless steel and palladium, or gold coated. At first, the wearer could imagine it being a brooch – however, the featherweight design can also be a necklace, and there is a ribbon included, so the possibilities are limitless.

This is a special Limited Edition by theo, with only one-hundred pieces made of each striking model, and each piece is numbered on the reverse, as well as on the box – the “little black box” providing an exclusive touch. Beauty, individuality and originality – a theo triumph! www.theo.be JG Top photo: Hypnotic H2 in Palladium

Scapa

Charlotte

Coppe+Sid

A signature trend this season is semi-rimless frames with innovative interpretations. Coppe and Sid’s new collection has desirable, statement styles with vivid colour including Charlotte (above). The acetate frames are “enriched” by a nylon string inserted in the lower or upper part of the rim. Classic yet updated shapes, a cosmopolitan approach to design, and Italian craftsmanship ensure fine quality, and Coppe+Sid’s signature Lapis Lazuli stone is deftly tucked into the end-pieces.
